​My Grandfather used to say, "Son, believe in yourself till you're 6 feet in." It took a long time for me to realize and accept the importance and gravity of what he was trying to say. Now at 44 with 3 little girls and married to my High School sweetheart Heather, life has become a little more clear. We are here to fully become the best representation of the "DIVINE" and "MIRACULOUS" beings that God created us be. In MIND, BODY & SPIRIT, to serve others as they wish to be served, to love as we wish to be loved, and to use our GIFTS to INSPIRE others on our daily walk.

I moved to McKay's Mill a little over 16 years ago with Heather to pursue music. I was called to move here to fulfill a "DREAM", still something was missing. Having coached YMCA and Williamson County Schools (Basketball and Soccer Leagues) and having helped several friends & co-workers reach their fitness goals, my purpose was revealed. I'm a "TRAINER & COACH". I was recruited by the Cool Springs YMCA to work on their staff prior to their budget being cut and doors closing. Becoming a Nationally Certified ACSM Personal Trainer was a no brainer. It's a burning desire to help others and teach what I've learned over the years along my journey.
If you're ready to take control of your health and need a GAMEPLAN, please allow me to help, it's a minimal investment for your biggest ASSET! YOU!!

Love and Weights,

Ryan

I am a 44 year old mother of three active girls, Madelyn (13(, Ava (10), and Audrey Rose (7). I’m privileged to be household chef, maid, homework checker, household accountant and errand runner.
Originally from Nebraska, I am farm grown, but eventually landed in beautiful Franklin, TN after surviving the desert heat in Phoenix for 16 years. My husband Ryan and I have lived here since 2005 and truly love it!
I have not always been excited about fitness or exercising, but thanks to Ryan, I am the fittest I have ever been in my life. It is true that there was a point when he would tell me “Heather, you should do this or that,” at the gym. I would smile and go on with my normal cardio routine...afraid of being in the free weights section looking like a fool next to the guys. However, he was getting incredible results with his clients. I could deny it no longer...I had to admit I did not know how to jump start my metabolism or tone up without his help. It was a huge turning point in how I looked at fitness and exercising.
For our family, exercise is only part of our puzzle. We are making better food choices and remembering MODERATION in all things is the key to a successful relationship with food. I admit, there are still moments of “stress eating,” “emotional eating,” and the “bored eating,” but they are recognized now...the key to changing the behavior!
My goal for my family, and those that I help, is wellness. Now that I have the tools and a support system in place, I am excited to assist & support Ryan in helping others achieve their wellness goals!
